"I have worked with DBR on three separate occasions to improve organizational operations. Their approach is to learn our needs and tailor their program to meet them. The facilitators are skilled at engaging city staff and finding workable solutions. The results of the partnership with DBR are more efficient delivery of city services and employees with a higher level of job satisfaction."
